Demonstration of two common tree visualizations using d3 and newick.js. I hadn't found any examples of these kinds of right-angle trees so I figured I'd share. Input data is a Newick-formatted guide tree from a clustalw multiple sequence alignment on some cytochrome b sequences from several North American snakes. And it turns out the creator of newick.js also has an implementation of this kind of radial tree: check out http://www.jasondavies.com/tree-of-life/
